The rapidly growing number of hyperscale data centers (DCs) with predominantly artificial intelligence (AI) types of loads in the current regulatory environment of promoting clean energy content suggests increasing the use of distributed energy resources (DERs). Some key factors are regulatory mandates to achieve carbon-free operation and reduce dependency on the electric grid. Although the addition of renewable resources in the form of DERs to DC infrastructure introduces significant challenges in design and operation, it also brings opportunities for implementing sophisticated control and automation to further capture the DER value for enhancing the grid reliability, resilience, and participation in demand response (DR) programs, depending on the location of DCs.

In the 10 years since I founded this magazine, it has grown both in depth and breadth. Electrification has now become synonymous with decarbonization, which is a major tool in addressing climate change. As the society moves away from using fossil fuel for end-use applications, like internal combustion engines, boilers and furnaces for space heating, gas water heating, and gas cooking stoves, etc., electrification becomes the preferred alternative. But heavy electrification comes with its own challenges, which I will discuss in the following.

The intermittent nature of power generation from variable renewable energy sources is a well-understood and discussed topic in public. When an increasing number of variable renewable energy sources become connected to the electricity grid, more assets for balancing and flexibility are required to level out the variations in production of electricity. These variations are typically predictable based on wind and solar radiation forecasts and typically last for hours or days. Therefore, this long-term balancing relies on energy-intensive assets that can provide flexibility or balancing for long durations, while the speed of response is not critical.

Meeting ever-increasing capacity demands has emerged as a perceptual challenge for the data center industry. The continuous digitalization of businesses and society necessitates further capacity expansion, despite substantial investments in new infrastructure over the past five years. According to the Dell’Oro Group, investments in hyperscale data centers are projected to double in the next five years.

Electrification of drivetrain systems is now seen as a major opportunity by the transportation industry across the globe to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and revolutionize the travel patterns of millions of people. The cumulative number of plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles (EVs) sold in the United States has now surpassed 2 million in 2021, according to the International Energy Agency. The introduction of EVs in different classes of passenger vehicles and the continued drop in prices spurred by government incentives have attracted the attention of consumers despite certain barriers, such as higher initial cost and range anxiety. In the United States, the EV market share is now growing at an exponential pace, with the domestic automakers allocating a lion’s share of new and future car sales to EVs. Additionally, different market studies project decreasing cost and rising sales of medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks. Although electrification initiatives are strongly pursued in the on-road passenger vehicle market, off-highway sectors, such as construction, mining, and agriculture, are also gradually implementing electric drivetrain technologies in their machineries. As EVs grow in popularity on a global scale, innovative drivetrain technologies must meet the increasing energy demand by significantly increasing system efficiency.
